Shimoneta to Iu Gainen ga Sonzai Shinai Taikutsu na Sekai – 06 [NSFW]

Shimoneta - Pouty Anna

So Anna can be pouty-cute too, huh?

winter15-highwSo everyone (except me) is going to be trying the recipe on this week’s Shimoneta ED, right?

 

The Joy of Cooking

Shimoneta - that's a tad warm

That’s a bit warm, I think…

You can’t say that Ayame isn’t looking out for everyone’s welfare. Now that she’s given all the boys some wanking material, she’s gotta help them out so that they don’t end up chafing themselves. That means it’s time to head to the kitchen and see what she can come up with. I have to say that bringing along Tanukichi is just to wind him up, because one would think that Ayame is much more of an authority on what girls feel like than Tanukichi.

Shimoneta - She'll eat anything

Important things to know: Otome will eat anything

But one thing that we see through their exchanges is more confirmation that for all of Ayame’s terrorism fervor, she’s not that much less conservative personally than most of the people around her. The idea of helping the girls help themselves is something she’s uncomfortable with, probably because it involves the subject of her own private activities. I wouldn’t say that means she’s repressed, or hypocritical, just that this is this, and that is that. Plus, we’ve seen that she doesn’t take surprises of that sort very well, something that will come up again.

Shimoneta - Binkan-chan's longest exposure

Finally Binkan-chan gets a screenshot!

They do manage to make some things in the kitchen that would help out, but if you asked my opinion, it’s just a lot of work for not much benefit. There are also some things that are very, very wrong, and thankfully Tanukichi can see that before he suffers any injury. But the other initiative that Ayame came up with (which she still tries to pass off as for boys) is a vibrator, and that actually seems to make some progress once they get Hyoka on the job. Not only does she have some ‘failures’ (all of which would be perfectly adequate for the task, and soon to be Binkan-chan’s best friend, I think), she manages to go advanced with remote control wireless eggs. But sometimes advanced isn’t always the best, especially for a prototype.

Shimoneta - What's not right here

Something’s not quite right here

Buzz or Bust

Shimoneta - Surprise

Comedy. Gold.

Once again, the show sets it up in the first half, and knocks it out of the park in the second half. Returning to the tried-and-true of Anna’s pursuit of Tanukichi, their first encounter starts things off on the wrong foot, as Anna interrupts him with a hadaka lab coat Hyoka picking up the vibrators (and trying to avoid Hyoka’s demand of a quid pro quo in return for her efforts). But it goes even worse when he has to gin up a cover story, which results in Anna grabbing one of the action parts. Even worse, she decides to put it on a kinda-long chain around her neck. Nothing can go wrong here…

Shimoneta - Ayame is mad

Reputation down the tubes

As usual, everything goes wrong. The remote control is still on, so it turns on the vibrator, Anna goes crazy, Tanukichi gets jumped, and Ayame gets pissed. But it’s not that simple. Because Tanukichi almost loses his precious chastity, thanks to Anna and her ‘power stone’, not to mention her breasts. It’s kind of surprising that Anna can be calm about it with Goriki, and then throw down Tanukichi and ravish him. But he calls it his chastity, when there are multiple definitions of that. He was a lot closer to losing that a couple weeks ago, I’d think, when Anna jumped him in his room and had both their pants off. If Ayame hadn’t walked in, Otome would have gotten what she wanted, Anna would have gotten what she wanted, and Tanukichi’s precious virginity might now be as existent as its actual worth.

Shimoneta - Thanks for bringing him back

Goriki’s Sgt. Schultz routine keeps him out of trouble – “I see nothink!”

Bonus Anna

What might be more problematic is the possible schism between Ayame and Tanukichi. Even though he explained that he didn’t do anything intentionally to start Anna’s power stone, uh, “powering”, Ayame doesn’t really believe him. And I think it’s important to note that after she walked out, she didn’t have anything to do with him throughout the whole rest of that shamozzle. I think part of this is Ayame’s innate modesty (like I mentioned before), but at least part of it is that she seems to be a little annoyed that Tanukichi is so focused on Anna. There’s definitely some jealousy there, but until Ayame voices it, we’re not going to find out what the driver is. I think (hope) she’s starting to like Tanukichi, but I’d like there to be a reason for it, not just ‘he’s the male lead of the story’. I could buy that she likes that he’ll engage her, that he’s fun to be with, anything like that. And as we move through this second LN, I hope that we get more information about that.

    I’ll give the team an “A” for effort but they’re really bad at making the intended products, some look pretty absurd, others potentially dangerous just by looking. Even more of a handicap since they’re deprived of any sort of manual to help them. Seriously, with that kind of society, I’d well want to cause some chaos.

    Great threat or Greatest threat?

      Considering that Anna has become quite a bitch in heat who can’t tell the difference between love and lust, I’d say that’s the greatest threat.

    Oh, it will be interesting to see where Ayame goes. She’s this world’s version of the character that boasts about a lack of virginity, while still clinging to it. Characters like that don’t really deserve a comeuppance (cause, yeah, don’t go there…) but a follow up is natural…

    • Highway says:

      You know, I don’t know if there’s as much of a hypocritical strain to Ayame’s self as you imply. I don’t know that she’s ever advocated even other people having sex. Her bailiwick has been people able to say, read, and act like they want. I wonder if pressed would she take that other step and say that the kids in the school should be encouraged to go all the way. Even her jokes aren’t about Tanukichi getting it on with Anna, they’re about Tanukichi and others practicing self-love.

      I think she wants the kids to know the truth about what happens, because the ignorance itself is offensive to her. But I don’t think she’s advocating free love at all. And I think that’s a perfectly fine line for her character to draw. And that would partly explain why she’s so put out by Tanukichi’s ‘assault’ on Anna.

    • Highway says:

      Actually, she has said in the past that Tanukichi should just do it with Anna, but it’s hard to tell if that was a serious advocacy, or if that was just winding up Tanukichi.
      And just as many times, she’s used Anna as a threat to Tanukichi.

      • skylion says:

        Well, she’s a boaster, I don’t quite put that in the same class as a hypocrite. But, as you say, she hates the level of ignorance that has clouded the place. But now that you mention it, I would like to see how they treat the humor of her being an advocate of free love. They’ve been pretty spot on with the laughs so far.

        But I’m not sure about the triangle, myself. It all seems like sparks going off at random…
